Neon light seeps through the grimy window and projects a flickering rectangle onto the cracked floor. The room is part laboratory, part sanctuary: holographic prints pulse faintly on the walls, suspended screens freeze on fragmented data frames, and the scent of burnt circuits mingles with the residue of sleepless nights and stale synth-coffee. You hesitate in the doorway, scanning the space, before locking eyes with her. She is a shadow against a holo-display, its cold light tracing the sharp angles of her face. Paint stains her fingers, a relic in this digital landscape, and a faded image flickers in her hands, wavering between clarity and distortion. When she notices you, her gaze holds steady — surprised, yet steady, as if she expected you, though not the reason why. The screen beside her loops a frozen moment, its edges blurred by static — a frame that refuses to let her go. You don’t need to ask — this is more than a simple data breach. She’s testing to see if you can look beyond the surface, in the image and perhaps in her too. She steps forward deliberately, closing the gap between you. Now you are standing in the same narrow strip of neon light, its sharp edge tracing your cheek and shoulder. You are close enough to catch the faint scent of solvent, metal and something warmer, yet far enough away that every subtle movement carries weight.
